Camilo Villegas’ form in The Sentry 2024
Camilo Villegas delivered an outstanding performance in the initial round of the The Sentry 2024. His entry into the tournament is attributed to his inclusion in last season's winner's list, clinching victory at the Bermuda Championship.
The 41-year-old golfer shot eight birdies to eventually conclude the round at eight-under 65. He is currently sharing the second position with fellow golfers Collin Morikawa, Jason Day, Viktor Hovland and Im Sung-Jae at the Kapalua Plantation Course.
Sharing his excitement about being able to play at The Sentry, Camilo Villegas said (via Golf.com):
“It’s a great feeling. It’s great to be here. It’s been a great offseason. It’s been time to reflect a little bit on everything that has happened in the career in a good way, in a positive way. The energy has been unbelievable. It’s nice to see the people care about you, people respect you, people are pulling for you, and nice to keep this thing going.”
He added:
“I really enjoy what I do. I said it in Bermuda: Sometimes you kind of fear kind of losing your job and not being able to do what we do, because I like to compete. It’s nice to be here, nice to be back with the big boys, and nice to get to a good start today.”
With three more rounds remaining in the tournament, Villegas stands a chance to secure his sixth victory on the Tour if he sustains his current form.
